A PRECEDENT FOR ALL PEOPLE, AROUND THE WORLD

MY MOTHER, EVA SAULIS (GOOKUM) WAS ONE OF THE FIRST, STRONG NATIVE WOMEN TO FINALLY SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH". HER STAND AND THAT OF OTHERS SET A PRECEDENT TO GRASS ROOTS PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD TO CONTINUE TO VOICE THE ISSUES, CONCERNS, AND ESPECIALLY THE INJUSTICES THAT EFFECT THEIR DAILY LIVES. THEY REMIND US THAT NO MATTER WHAT OR WHO IS OVERWHELMING,WE WILL EVENTUALLY OVERCOME, BECAUSE OF OUR SPIRIT AND LOVE OF OTHERS. ALLAN SAULIS

My mom was featured in the book along with other women i know..reading their accounts has a profound effect on the reader. Tina Perley Francis..Tobique First Nation.
